PHASE 2 REOPENING
|
Beginning on Tuesday, June 23rd, the Historic Trust will be open on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays at the Pensacola Museum of Art and the T.T. Wentworth, Jr. Florida State Museum only.
The safety of our visitors and staff is the utmost importance to us; therefore, we will only be open on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Wednesdays from 10:00AM until 4:00PM. Masks are required for entry. These staggered days will allow staff plenty of time to fully sanitize the museums between open days. We will be operating at 50% capacity at both locations. In order to ensure the social distancing guidelines, we will only offer online $8.00 timed tickets and staff will be situated on each floor reminding visitors of the safety protocols. These $8 tickets are good for the Pensacola Museum of Art, the TT Wentworth Museum, Julee Cottage, the Museum of Industry, Museum of Commerce, and our Living History in the Historic Village, and are good for only the day. Purchase your ticket by clicking the link above. Members will need to also register for a timed ticket prior to visiting the museums to ensure entrance capacity is maintained. Member discount is automatic when you log into your account. If you need assistance logging into your account, email Wendi Davis at wdavis4@uwf.edu. Each visitor will be offered free disposable masks at the entrances of the museums if they do not have a mask. Hand sanitizer stations will be placed throughout both locations. While these two museums will be open the two museum stores will remain closed for the Phase 2 reopening. Online sales are still available. All educational programs and events are still cancelled until further notice. This includes Afterschool Art Club, Next Generation Homeschool, Art Academy for Autism, Open Studio, Family Sunday, Parent’s Night Out, Yoga in the Gallery, and Preschool Art Time. Staff is developing our reopening plan per the suggestions of the American Alliance of Museums which states, "a gradual approach [which] allows your museum to prioritize health and safety while taking progressive steps to restore regular operations." |
